				well , it has a shell ( from what i've
heard it's not very good ) and it makes better use of expanded memory ,
but the biggest advantage that i've heard of so far is that it uses 2KB
clusters instead of 4K with previous versions . this frees up hard drive
space , if you have lots of small files , but you must re-fromat ( high
level ) your hard drive . i've not switched yet , though ...
